Otis wasn’t fazed by the loss, however, making comments in a WWE Digital Exclusive that can also be seen below.

Speaking after the match, the Alpha Academy member said:

“Let me tell you something – the Alpha Academy, me and Tozawa, lost our opportunity for WrestleMania.

“You know what? Every loss comes the next… the next task at hand.

“The task at hand is a fresh start, maybe somewhere new, maybe we’ll find different opportunities and different matches.

“And yes, with a new place, I’m talking about…”

This would be Tozawa’s moment to speak and he would say:

“Tomorrow night. Thank you.”
